It was a 10 night stay and was nice quiet camp site. We will go back again 1 or 2 times in 2018. - edsharon2017

We had 3 RV campers and stayed two nights over the weekend. The campground was very clean, as was the public restroom/shower house. We used one pull-through space and two back-up spaces. There was plenty of room. We have stayed here several times and have had a great time each time. The owners and employees are very friendly and helpful.

The only negative thing I find is they do not take reservations. We arrived early so we could get 3 sites and had to put our camper in one space, our boat in one space and our pickup in another. We will come here again. - Diana A

OLD park with new owners who are attempting to make some renovations. Very few sites for big rigs. We had electrical problem at our site. After six workers spent several hours attempting to fix it (unsuccessfully), we were moved to a different site. One of the owners was rather rude and unconcerned about the situation; the other was more willing to try to find a solution. Given the one owner's attitude, the electrical problems, and lack of big rig sites, I would not stay here again. - Heart

Beautiful setting right on Truman lake. Very quite and dark at night so the night sky can be enjoyed. There is a boat ramp, beach and some new sites that have water. The woods are beautiful and the morning sunrises breathtaking. - PhredFromIL

We stayed in the Buck Ridge section (campsite 112) over Memorial weekend, and it was great. Sites are very spacious and private. Pad was good size, asphalt and pretty level. The campground has a beautiful canopy of trees, allowing for lots of shade over sites. You get a picnic table and fire pit with each site. Unfortunately, there isn't water available at each site, but there was a spigot a few sites down from us. Bathrooms were very clean, and our only complaint about them was lack of hot water. The hosts were gone all weekend which was frustrating, especially since there was no one there to enforce quiet hours. (We stay up pretty late, but I'm talking 1:00 AM and still lots of noise.) The trails are great - lots of animals and interesting plants/flowers to see. Swimming areas were closed, due to flooding, so can't review those. I would have liked to see a couple of fishing piers. Seems the only real fishing we could do was from a boat. On this holiday weekend, there were quite a few activities for the kids - lessons on mammals that live in the area, kite flying, bird feeder building, guided trail hikes, outdoor movie in the amphitheater, etc. they loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend this campground. We loved it and will definitely be back. - Letsgetitpoppin

This was a REALLY nice, clean state park--one of the best we've ever visited. The sites were well spaced and very private. The web site also gives good information on slideout restrictions based on trees and other vegetation. Pay attention to this, several of the sites would not have been able to accommodate our slideouts. We stayed in the Buck Ridge campground and it was well-suited to our 38 footer. The roads were also well maintained and made the sites easy to back into. The only negative about this state park is that it is quite a distance from the town of Warsaw and there is really not much to do in this park other than hike--there is a nice lake and beach, but no fishing pier (you must rent a boat to fish or go elsewhere.) If you are looking for peace, quiet and privacy, this is a terrific state park. If you are traveling with kids I'd go elsewhere or bring a boat. - MN Bound

Another great MO state park campground. The restrooms were dated but clean. Level blacktop sites with electric only were $21 per night. The area surrounding the campground is beautiful. We felt we were all alone as the sites are well spaced and there were not many campers there in September. - katinfoco

Reviews of Last Resort Campground

Great landscaping, shaded, very inviting campground about 8 1/2 miles south east of Warsaw, MO. Mostly full time campers with some spaces for over nighters. Steep hill takes you down to Lake of the Ozarks, where you can launch a boat or fish off the docks. Can even tent camp down there. Odd electrical policy -- charges $3.00 per 12 hours if you use a/c, and you are on the honor system. Campground owners also have strict policy against swimming in the pool if you have been swimming in the lake. Out of the way -- make sure you bring what you need because there is no store on site or in the immediate area. Pet Friendly. - Dan64078

This is a nice very quiet place right off the lake. There are full hookup spots, that appear to be taken by long term residents. There are about 8-10 pull through spots close together surround by trees as well as tent camp sites. You can bank fish the either LARGE Pond or small lake just feet away. There is a large very clean bathroom and shower house. Only thing missing is hand soap. There is Delightful Donut Shop, Dollar General, Country Mary, and a gas station just a short walk away. Wouldn't be able to tell it with how quiet the camp park is! The biggest letdown is lack of fire rings. Kids and wife were bummed out not being able to roast marshmellows for s'mores. A few sites had fire rings but most didn't. I would definitely stay again. Just need to bring something to build a small campfire in. - Kenny_Crystal

A quiet little campground. Outside loop had mostly long term but the sites were kept very clean. No accumulations of "stuff" like you see in so many long term spaces. Inside loop had short term and overnight. A little tight to put our 36 foot fifth wheel in, but we managed it with a few backup and adjustments. Space was shaded and fairly level. Only took one block to level. Site had 30 amp, water, but no sewer for the short timers. Did have an easy to reach dump station. Spaces were pretty close together but there were lots of trees, so we were shaded 80% of the time. No cable and trees blocked satellite, but got several local channels, but no ABC, NBC, etc. We were literally right on the lake. My husband had a great time fishing--caught several catfish (could have been keepers), and several carp. Threw them all back, but fun to catch. It had rained a lot the previous few days, so the grass needed mowing, but the last day we were there they were busy getting it groomed again. Bathrooms were older but clean. Good places to walk dog, but beware--out in treed area (next to campsite), there was some poison ivy growing. Owners were super nice and made us feel welcome. This is a cash only campground. All people we met (including campers) were friendly. Would definitely stay here again. This is not your resort style campground with pool, table games, entertainment, etc. But it is a nice place to kick back and relax. - DKA345

Six of us with motorhomes, 5th wheels and on travel trailer spent one night on the way to The Escapade at Sedalia, MO. Lots of trees but no problems other than lack of satellite service. Deer Rest Camp Park is a quiet secluded, urban lakeside campground which is conveniently located in the Warsaw, Truman Lake and Western Lake of the Ozark areas. Good paved access rd. From Jct of US-65 & Hwy 7 (N of town), S 0.75 mi on US-65 to Warsaw exit (E Main), W 0.3 mi to Hackberry Dr, 0.1 mi (R). Good gravel interior roads. This park disappeared from major guides around 2000. We would use it again for a one or two night stop. No evidence of long term people. Friendly staff. - johnwadams

We stayed 3 nights in a site by the lake. The park is in need of updating and it appears some work is being started on restrooms. Long Shoal is directly across from the Long Shoal Marina. Stormy weather prevented us from doing a scheduled day of fishing with a guide, but we enjoy staying here and would stay again. The park is nicely treed. Access roads are acceptable but needing some work. - gbburgess

Although our site was a little close to our neighbors, that is not the norm for the campground. But it was well worth it to be on the water. The water view from our site was amazing. Will stay again. - CariD67

We stayed here 2 nights while fishing on Truman Lake and have stayed here in previous years. The National Parks Pass makes the stay quite economical. Our site was roomy widthwise, but almost short for a full-size motorhome. Level sites are an issue. The park is a Core of Engineers campground and nicely located on Truman Lake - also at same turn off Hwy 7 for Long Shoal Marina, where we met our fishing guide for the day. It does need more updating of restroom/shower building and grooming of campsites for modern vehicles. - gbburgess

We reserved ahead, site unseen, for a holiday weekend, and were required to pay for 3 days. They claimed to have sites for RVs up to 50', but getting into the sites without damaging your rig is almost impossible. There are low branches, sharp turns in the campground, no cell phone coverage, no satellite (lots of trees). The owners seemed nice enough, and when we requested a refund, they complied right away. It would have been a long weekend without phones, internet, or TV, and only 30 amp electric. - Like 2 Bike

We stayed in this park for a full month because of the price. It is located on a gravel road and does not have very many amenities but the owners are very nice. The showers and laundry room were kept clean and the park was quiet. We were gone during the day but at night we couldn't pick up TV and there were so many trees we couldn't get the satellite to get signal either. We have a very small trailer so getting in was no problem but a big rig (40'+) couldn't fit if the 30' travel trailer that tried to get in next to us was any indication. Overall we liked the laid back owners and especially the price but this is definitely a "roughing it" type of park if you are addicted to city life. - RVcowboy

Nice wooded COE campground on a point overlooking Truman Lake. Heavy canopy provides shade but may block satellite signals. Some sites have water view. All sites are back in. Water is available at community spigots throughout park and at dump station. Stayed here overnight on my way to Escapade in Sedalia. Price is $14 non-electric, $20 electric. Senior Pass give a 50% discount. - LouS

Not really happy with our overall stay, but it was the only option at the time. Campground was run down and in need of repairs. Cheap but not great. - Jim Robertson

An older campground that has a number of permanent residents/sites that are generally in average condition. Wi-Fi is only available in the small rally building but did not try it for reliability. The park would be OK for a couple of nights but nothing longer as it a condition overall leaves much to be desired. Is located 17 miles east of Clinton, Mo and 12 miles west of Warsaw, Mo on #7 highway. The little town of Warsaw has a good variety of shops and mom & pop restaurants. - jc2
